Lactation in relation to postmenopausal breast cancer

Article Abstract:

Lactation appears to confer long-lasting benefits relative to breast-cancer risk, over and above those from childbearing. Modest suggestion that greater cumulative duration of lactation was inversely related to breast cancer risk existed. Age at first lactation was not consistently associated with risk.The relationship of lactation to postmenopausal breast cancer has been investigated in a multicenter population-based case-control study that used breast-cancer patients 50-79 years of age and controls.

Relation of Consumption of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Carotenoids to Risk for Stroke among Men in the United States

Article Abstract:

Consumption of high levels of antioxidant vitamins does not appear to reduce the risk of stroke. Antioxidants reduce oxidation of low-density cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Researchers analyzed the nutrient intakes of 43,738 healthy men. Over eight years, there were 328 strokes, but the risk did not appear significantly different in men who consumed high levels of vitamins C and E or carotenoids.
